Just when I think that people can't get any more heartless...
The type of person that hurt's an animal in such a way deserves all of the soap-dropping fun that awaits him in federal prison.

I read this earlier today and while I'm no animal activist, I do love animals.. and I honestly almost cried reading this article.. it's freakin' sick that someone could do that .. and sicker that a group of his peers/friends could watch and laugh... I hope the bastard rots in prison... and if I believed in hell, I'd hope he rotted there too..

First of all, Human > animal

People get murdered, 15,000+ in 2001 in the U.S., for example, and I don't hear you crying about that. Lets put things in perspective, and realize people and animals have been killing/eating eachother since the dawn of time.

Yes, it's sad (and in our culture, bizarre), and certainly inhumane, but wishing that man to be raped makes you little better than the kitty cooker himself. Give it a rest, take some midol and call me in the morning.

Yeah, people get murdered. So that means we shouldn't sorrow for the anguish he caused a helpless little animal? I'm sorry, but that comment was trollish in my eyes. Yeah, people/animals have been killing/eating each other like you said...but you can't compare this to doing what one needs to do to survive.

So if the kitty-cooker went on and killed a human down the road, which wouldn't be surprising, would you say wishing karmic retribution on him made you just as bad?
